Auburn and Washington State will face off Saturday inside Jordan-Hare Stadium at 6 p.m. There's plenty to cover until then, but the game certainly feels real now, doesn't it?

Washington State will conclude its preparations in Pullman, Wash., this week. Media access is apparently on lock down at WSU, where players are not expected to chat with reporters until after the game Saturday in Auburn.

We still have some interesting tidbits from WSU to pass along, however, including a sneak preview of the Cougars' depth chart, some insight on the Air Raid offense from quarterback Connor Halliday and how the Cougars' defense plans to slow Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall.
